Interim government Prime Minister Fayez Sarraj arrived in Tripoli with several members of the UN-backed Presidential Council late in March. The self-proclaimed General National Congress (GNC or National Salvation Government) based in the Libyan capital announced on Wednesday it would step down.
"We are committed to a peaceful solution and civilized transfer of government functions. We did meet the Presidential Council and affirmed our full readiness to cooperate with it and to interact in a positive way after parliament gives its consent," Zwai said.
The self-proclaimed Tripoli government has been rivaled by the internationally recognized Council of Deputies in the eastern town of Tobruk that won a parliamentary majority at the June 2014 elections.
In December, the rival sides agreed to create a Government of National Accord to end the political struggle.
